Corvair Forum

I replaced the tyres on the front for tyres in the size 195\70\14 and it fits perfectly . on the back the 205\75\14 but for a better look I want to change it for tires in the size 195\75\14 ( a little bit higher) . It looks more like a tractor with these tires ::-): voorkant.jpg IMG_20201220_155150....

I've measured up the tolerance of the tire according to the fender, it's about 1 cm so i think that a tire in the size 205\70\14 should fit.
A "70" tire is 1 cm lower so that should work. and i can keek the same wide size of the tire. (now hoping that it works out )

hello, I did'nt buy the 15 inch wheels in my topic. I found a set 14 inch buick wheels that are a in better shape, a little bit cheaper and 14 inch so it will fit a bit easier on my corvair. the wheels came with tires in the size 205\75\14, that fits perfectly on the rear but i have a problem on the...

terribleted,

I'm not buying the rims if i'm not 100 % sure if it will fit a corvair (rims are pretty expensive) and i wanna be sure they are straight.

(after all there are used rims and i don't know how old they are)

thanks everyone for your reply's the ball joints, control arms and bushings are all in good shape . there is no lack on it. the nut in the pic have i loosing up a bit to try to remove the ball joint (that did'nt work) so i have to tighting it up .

MVIMG_20201201_135517_LI.jpg Hello forummers, I have a question about removing the steering box of my 65 corvair. It seems that the steeringbox needs a repair because i have a lot of play in the steering wheel. (the car steers like a steamboat ::-): ) I already tried to adjust the box bwith the nut...

thank you all for the quick reply,

So this means that i have to look for other tires, to bad because the tires on the rims are in very good shape.
(guess i have to flip them )

hello forummers, I have a question about a set of wheels for my lm corvair I'm in the market for a set of 15 inch wire wheels pcd 5 x 4,75 but i'm not sure if it will fit. Are 15 inch not to big ? with other words, what size of tires can i use so they won't hid the fenders when i'm steering ( l+ R) ...

thanks for the warning, but i've wrapped the fuel lines with a rubber hose to prevent that the fuel lines are heating up.

I'm not using the original fuel pump. I mounted a electric feul pump, and as far as I know it does'nt have a retourline

benzineleidingen corvair.jpg I've solved the vapour lock problem by wrapping the fuel lines with a rubber air hose . It does'nt look nice,.........but it seems to work. I've droven my corvair for about a our in the sun (temperature 25 celsius) and the engine keeps running :pray: (up to the next pro...

It's been a while that I've been on the forum, busy with other things. Still the problem with vapor lock hasn't been solved. But I've been thinking that it might be a electric problem ? I've noticed today that the coil becomes very hot, so I was thinking that there is some malfunction in the electri...

Hi bbodie52

The plastic insulators between the carburetors and cylinders are installed, but they might be damaged and cost a vacuum leak (I don't know, how old they are) It's probably the best to replace them for a new set just to be sure. And of course a isolation plate to the engine hood

A update for the heating problems engine. The thermostat doors on both sides are open, the (electric) fuel pump has been replaced near the gas tank, all seals are new so the cool air can't escape thru holes. the heating of the engine is not the problem , it's getting hot (especially with the tempera...

Hi Steve57, I Just driven the corvair for a few kilometers, and Ijust find out that the left door doesn't open properly. I think that the connecting rod of the thermostat has come loose. I think it's best to fix the outlet door to make sure it does'nt close. (maybe that will work to fix the vapor lo...
